Aside. I'm using the KDE display tool in Settings-System-Settings. It doesn't display as much information as nividia-settings, but it does some things (monitor rotation, etc.) better. What is interesting to me is that I get a different horizontal resolution (1600 versus 1920) when I use the DVI adapter. That tells me the video card is trying to do something different. Is the driver supposed to sync up the card to the monitor in the absense of correct modelines ? BTW: I thought the 20 inch display on my HDX was high quality. The U3011 (running 1920x1600 in 1:1 display mode) blows it away. Its almost too sharp and bright. But that can be adjusted. The HDX display looks like trash now. Dull, faded and fuzzy. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
